WIth sustainable tourism, you can have your cake and eat it too. Eco-resorts conserve energy and help preserve their natural environments without sacrificing style or comfort.

The Avalon Coastal Retreat is a modern work of art overlooking the Great Oyster Bay in Australia. The water practically opens from the edge of your private three-bedroom eco-cottage with its floor-to-ceiling windows. And you can sleep easy after a meal cooked by your own in-house chef knowing that the retreat also helps assist students in remote Tibet.

If the ecological, architectural, and charitable factors don’t sell you, maybe the chance to see a real-life Tasmanian devil will.
